Real Xpensive Cases

[tesco]

either the first one or the third one that you posted, i hate the checkered design.

oh and wait for clocker to come on he'll tell you whats good\bad about the xaser case.

That first one has alot of nice features and it looks pretty cool too. All of those prices suck a$$.

My experience with my Thermaltake XaserIII ended badly.

Most of the features that they brag about I found to be useless.
The build quality was poor.
The aluminum is paper thin.
The fan control/temp display doesn't work.

I don't recommend their cases.

how can u say their fan controllers don't work? maybe u just got a bad one.



like i said up there. i'd rather spend $200 on some good hardware, and get a regular case with a window, and customize it ur own way. paint it, make it glow. put lasers and stuff in it. dremel ur own case designs. they all end up costing very little. and u can use the $ u save to buy some good shit to put in the now flashy case

No Abu, it wasn't just me.
On the OC forum there is a 44 page thread called "Modding a Xaser" and almost every one of us who posted had trouble with the Hardcano fan unit.
The problems are due to the fact that each channel of the controller is rated for very low amperage...you hook more than one healthy fan to it and they blow.

there pretty nice, but if you cant use some fans then....
